George Kent is the greatest trumpet teacher I have ever had. Learned more with him in one semester than I did in three years.

Cynthia Brittain

She definitely wants her students to succeed. She is a good teacher because she really takes her time explaining everything. Very nice woman.

Pretty good school.

I love it here, couldn't pick a better school

This school is very large, so unless you get involved in extracurriculars you will have a tough time meeting people.

Great school. Many options. Clearly on the come up. Dozens of new state of the art buildings. Rivals education of schools that cost 2 or 3 ties as much. Over all great. experience so far.

pretty campus , good price , good reputation depending on the program you are interested in. However 80% or more of the professors here are trash and want you to fail for sure. Ive been at uri for 2 years now and I've had maybe only a couple professors that actually care and want their students to pass.

- Food is okay - Lots of clubs

Super nice campus lots of upgrades in progress or being finished.

URI gets a bad rap from a lot of people because it has a reputation as a "party school", but there is not as much of that at all as people say. The science buildings are top notch and the opportunities to do field work and work with professors in the field are amazing and often. URI is in a pretty rural area, but the school gives free bus passes.

I am an out-of-state Junior and overall I've had an excellent experience at URI. The social and internship opportunities, events, and helpful staff are undeniably abundant and make our campus thrive. The only two issues I have come across are the lack of student parking and the sub-par dining hall food.

Nope.

URI is a great school, with some amazing professors. I am a health studies major and they have many connections for me here. The basketball games are also wicked fun!
